Can you tell me exactly when is earliest that dry socket can happen?

Onset of dry socket?: Dry sockets can in reality occur at any time, though the common time seems to be 2-4 days after surgery. Technically, a dry socket can happen immediately if the clot comes out and no bleeding occurs to fill in the socket, but that is not common.
